In 1775 James Macpherson implied that Lucy was in Paris in August 1650 & yet 5 eyewitness put her in Holland at the very same time. Who do you believe, the facts or the popular Macpherson myth?

With the purchase of the Roche Castle Estate in the early #17thCentury, Lucy’s great-grand parents put the Walter family on the map, but this was not only property & land they owned. Read the real Lucy Walter story on 30 October from @penswordbooks #SecretQueen #LucyTuesday

Interestingly, the House of Lords couldn't find a legal precedent for Alimony in 1647. So they ruled that William Walter was to keep and maintain his estranged Wife. Today is marks milestone for women's rights. Learn more in my upcoming biography of Lucy Walter #SecretQueen – at Chambois, France
